Event Details

This is a traditional classroom course. It's the course you'll need to take whether you are new or renewing.

All parts of the course are done in our classroom.

The Heartsaver® First Aid CPR AED program for helping adults, children & infants. It includes fundamental concepts of providing high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), using an automated external defibrillator (AED), and giving basic first aid for medical emergencies like trouble breathing, choking, allergic reactions, EPI Pens, heart attack, stroke, seizures and more. Also included is first aid for wounds, burns, broken bones and environmental emergencies such as animal bites, heat & cold emergencies, poisoning, and more.

This course is for people who aren't healthcare providers but need the basic skills that might save a life or prevent further injury. This course is open anyone.

The course is approved by the State of Michigan for licensing for daycare, teaching, construction and other license requirements. The course also meets or exceeds the requirements of many insurance companies that require basic training in CPR / First Aid in the workplace.

Below is the card you will get. Ask your boss if this is the one you need.

Cards are good for 2 years from the time they are issued.

Plan on setting aside 4 1/2 hours for this class. Sometimes it's less because we have enough equipment to go around & people don't need to share manikins. Also, we run small classes and are able to accomplish in a short amount of time what other places take a ton of time to do.
